Pt VI, Line 2 Directors Joseph Penko and Nick Penko are brothers. Other EXPLANATION FOR LATE FILING: In early 2025 we suffered a significant staffing shortage, with only 77 personnel out of the 92 we require to be fully staffed. In addition, our resources were called upon to fight major campaign fires elsewhere in the state. The Palisades Fire was a highly destructive wildfire that burned in Los Angeles Country from January 7-31, 2025. Many of our personnel were sent there for the duration of the fire, and some were then reassigned to the Border 2 Fire in San Diego County. For both of these reasons (being short-staffed and meeting demands elsewhere in the state), early 2025 found us severely hampered in meeting our first-response obligations in Palo Alto. This forced us to delay non-emergency obligations, such as completing our bookkeeping and filing our annual information returns.
